New Community Ed Registration Platform Coming July 1

Minnewaska Area Schools Community Education is excited to announce that beginning July 1, 2026, all Community Education program registration and management will transition to Arux.

Arux is already successfully being used within Minnewaska Area Schools for:

  • Early Childhood Screenings
  • Little Lakers Preschool
  • School-Aged Child Care/Laker Legends
  • Lakes Area Enrichment Center programming

Beginning July 1, all additional Community Education offerings — including youth recreation, adult enrichment, aquatics, trips, and other programming opportunities — will also transition to the new platform.

This transition will provide families and community members with:

  • Easier online registration
  • Improved mobile accessibility
  • Streamlined program browsing
  • Enhanced account management
  • Better communication and program updates

Additional information, account setup instructions, and registration details will be shared throughout the summer to help ensure a smooth transition for all users.

We appreciate your patience and support as we continue working to improve the Community Education experience for our Minnewaska community. #LakerPride
